Excel to OmniFocus, any ideas? Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
I've got an Excel spreadsheet I use to create a list of deadlines for publicity. The reason I use Excel is that all the deadlines are relative (e.g., 2 weeks before open, 2 months before, etc.). What I'd like to do is somehow get that info into the inbox of OF with the name, start, and due dates intact. Any ideas?
 
You might try bringing the data into an OmniOutliner document with multiple columns, then importing from there to OF. I don't have any experience with that, so I'm not sure it would work, but it's worth a look.

For future projects, you might take a look at my Populate Template Placeholders script, available from my software page. The script creates duplicate projects based on a template project, including adjusting relative dates.

Cheers,

Curt
